Trending News: How To Put Your Fingers To Good Use

Why Is This Important?

Because our fingers are probably most guys' go-to pleasuring tools.

Long Story Short

YouTube Sexpert Adina Rivers' latest video covers probably the most common sex act there is — fingering. She has several tips and pointers for guys who want to really set themselves apart in the bedroom.

Long Story

The human hand is a miracle of evolutionary engineering, far more dexterous than any appendage belonging to our animal relatives. Given that, you'd think that it would be a really, really useful tool for enhancing sexytimes, but ask any woman how most men stack up at third base, and their responses will be decidedly lukewarm. But that's not because our hands are bad tools; it's because most of us are bad at using them. In her latest video, Sexplainer Adina Rivers wants to help demystify the rite of passage known as "touching a vagina."

First things first, don't go digging in there like you've got an itchy bootyhole and 0.5 seconds to scratch it before someone turns around and notices. In fact, as Adina explains, vaginal penetration need not necessarily be on the docket — it should only happen when she's fully aroused, as (naturally) lubed up as she's going to get and if that's something she's even interested in.

Even if you're a bit more enlightened and are aware of the existence of the clitoris, our inability to comprehend just how sensitive it is leads most men to err on the side of too much pressure. The truth is, the whole area is an erogenous zone, and your time would be better spent gently everything from both sets of labia to her vaginal opening before you start digging for gold or treating her clit like a mouse trackpad.

Also (and this should go without saying): keep your damn hands and nails clean and trimmed.
